What is the name of the part of the distal convoluted tubule wall that is a part of the juxtaglomerular apparatus?

A. Pons: The pons is involved in regulating the rate and depth of breathing but is not the primary site affected by pyrogens for temperature regulation.

B. Cerebral cortex: The cerebral cortex is responsible for higher-order functions like reasoning and sensory perception but does not directly regulate body temperature in response to pyrogens.

C. Hypothalamus: The hypothalamus acts as the body’s thermostat and is directly affected by pyrogens, leading to the elevation of body temperature (fever) as part of the immune response.

D. Amygdala: The amygdala is primarily involved in emotion regulation and does not play a direct role in temperature regulation.

A. Aldosterone hormone: Aldosterone affects sodium and potassium reabsorption, increasing water retention indirectly, but it does not directly increase water permeability in the collecting ducts.

B. Atrial natriuretic peptide hormone: This hormone decreases blood volume by inhibiting sodium reabsorption, leading to more water excretion, not reabsorption.

C. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH): ADH increases the permeability of the collecting ducts to water, allowing more water to be reabsorbed into the bloodstream.

D. Parathyroid hormone: This hormone primarily regulates calcium levels, not water permeability.
